The Claas brothers

Under the name “Gebrüder Claas” (Claas Brothers), the firm became well known all around the world. So who were the company’s founding fathers, August, Bernhard, Franz and Theo, and what were they like?

SWATH UP demonstrates its abilities in areas which are unsuited to direct threshing - and it does so under all imaginable conditions. It enables the pick-up of nearly all windrowed crops, especially crops such as rice, rapeseed and grass seed, and provides yet another demonstration of the exceptional efficiency of CLAAS front attachments.

Speed of intake units can be adjusted continuously from inside the cab

The working speed is controlled automatically via the ground speed

Rake unit is suspended (coil springs and gas-filled spring struts)

Working depth can be set by castor guide wheels

Seals between pick-up belts and frame prevent leakage losses

Functional principle.

The pick-up fingers on the front belt module make for the clean and loss-free collection of the harvested crop. The crop is transferred to the rear belt unit which conveys it to the feed roller. Guide blocks and guide rollers ensure that the belt modules are positioned and tensioned precisely if unevenly loaded, thereby avoiding losses. The feed roller makes for a clean transition to the feeder housing.

Crop guard.

The crop guard ensures efficient crop flow. It can be adjusted hydraulically for height and is therefore able to adapt optimally to the most diverse conditions. Furthermore, the distance to the rake unit is adjustable.

Castor guide wheels.

The two castor guide wheels at left and right not only limit the depth but also ensure that the tines do not pick up any stones.
